Chapter 211: Pouring Tea to Apologize

Pan Yucheng stood up and asked sternly: "How many of you are there?"

The young man replied in a trembling voice: "More than 30 people."

"Who are you? Why are you hiding in the nursery?"

"I... We all grew up in the nursery, and someone taught us martial arts since we were young."

Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "Who?"

The young man shook his head, "I don't know his real name, we all call him daddy... Although he has a beard, I can see that he is a eunuch."

Pan Yucheng and others were shocked.

Eunuch, that involves the royal family.

"What kind of eunuch?"

Ning Chen asked.

"He is about the same height as you, but fatter than you, with long and thin cheeks, and he is old."

Ning Chen asked in a deep voice: "Can you recognize him when you meet?"

The young man nodded, "Yes!"

Ning Chen ordered the two red-clothed men, "Put him in jail and keep him under strict guard."

"Yes!"

Ning Chen looked at Pan Yucheng, who understood and nodded.

Several people came out of the prison, selected a group of red-clothed men, and went straight to the nursery in the outer city.

On the way, they met a team of city defense soldiers, and Ning Chen called them along.

The nursery hall was in the outer city, a dilapidated two-story house.

Everyone rushed to the nursery hall.

Ning Chen ordered the city defense soldiers to surround the nursery hall.

Bang! ! !

Feng Qizheng stepped forward and kicked the door open, and Ning Chen and others rushed in.

Pan Yucheng said sternly: "Search for me, no matter who it is? Take them all down."

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed to search.

Ning Chen looked around coldly.

Suddenly, the cry of a child came from the inner courtyard.

Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng immediately ran to the inner courtyard.

A dozen children in ragged clothes were brought out of the room.

These children were all orphans taken in by the nursery hall.

Feng Qizheng ran over, "It seems that we are a step too late. We only found these children."

At this time, a red-clothed man ran over, "Pan Jinyi, did you find anything?"

"I didn't find anything here either."

Chen Chong also ran over and pointed to several rooms casually, "It is true that we are late. These rooms have traces of life, but now there is no one."

"It seems that they retreated before us, leaving only these too young children."

Pan Yucheng sighed and said, "Continue to search and see if there are any secret rooms or secret passages?"

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed again and searched carefully.

Ning Chen came to a thin little boy with a smile on his face, "Don't be afraid, brother is not a bad person... Tell brother, where are the others here?"

The little boy was full of fear and said nothing.

A red-clothed man said, "Ning Yinyi, when we found these children, they were still sleeping... The others probably left when they were asleep?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

From the time he caught the young man to the time he interrogated the place of the nursery, several hours had passed... The other party had enough time to retreat.

It seems that this trip was in vain.

However, the young man said that the person who trained them was a eunuch, and the clues pointed directly to the royal family.

Who could it be?

The prince?

The queen?

He was more inclined to the prince. Before he went to war, he took the prince to drink with Yudie.

But it was hard to say. It was easy for the queen to find out the existence of Yudie.

No matter who it was, he had to be found out this time and rooted out.

This time Yudie was lucky. He happened to send Jiang Daniu and Tian Jiang to protect him secretly.

But what about next time?

He would never allow this to happen again.

Ning Chen's eyes were sinister. If he wanted to prevent this from happening again, he had to kill the mastermind behind it completely.

At this time, the searchers came back.

This search still yielded nothing.

Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "It seems that someone used the nursery as a cover to train the children here into death warriors."

"The people who attacked you that night may have gone out from here."

Ning Chen nodded slightly: "The children in the nursery are all orphans. As long as they are given a full meal, they can be trained into death warriors."

"Damn it, these beasts... These children have suffered enough, and they have to be trained into death warriors. They are worse than beasts. Don't let me catch them. If I catch them, I will chop them up and feed them to dogs."

Feng Qi cursed angrily.

Ning Chen looked at Pan Yucheng, "Old Pan, there should be a lot of people evacuated. Let the city defense army pay more attention to see if they can find any clues?"

Pan Yucheng nodded.

Ning Chen frowned, "What should we do with these children? We can't just leave them here to fend for themselves."

Pan Yucheng said: "Don't worry! I will go to the Jingji Yamen in person tomorrow... The head of the security here is appointed by the Jingji Yamen."

The head of the security is equivalent to the director of the orphanage.

Ning Chen's eyes narrowed, "The chief was appointed by the Jingji Yamen?"

Pan Yucheng said: "I know what you think? Don't worry, I will investigate the current chief here."

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "Old Pan, why don't you go there now?"

Pan Yucheng pondered for a moment and said: "Okay! Then you go back first, I will take a few people to the Jingji Yamen now."

Ning Chen took out a silver note of one thousand taels, which was originally intended to be given to the imperial physician Lin Wen, but the other party did not want it.

"Old Pan, pass this to the new chief, as a token of my appreciation!"

Pan Yucheng said: "Why don't you come back in person? We don't know the character of the new head of the police station yet. So much silver can easily make people greedy."

Ning Chen thought about it and put the silver away. He will come in person in a few days.

This trip was in vain.

It was dawn when they came out of the nursery.

Pan Yucheng took a few people and went straight to the Jingji Yamen.

Ning Chen and others returned to the Supervisory Department.

.......

The next day, in the morning.

Ning Chen entered the palace and came to the Imperial Hospital.

When Lin Wen saw Ning Chen, he was still a little shocked.

"I didn't expect Ning Yinyi to really come?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "I always keep my word."

Lin Wen looked at Ning Chen, "Do you really want to kneel down and pour tea for me to apologize?"

You know, although Ning Chen is just a little silver clothes on the surface, people who are familiar with him know that he is a poet, a general of the Northern Expedition, and a favorite of His Majesty.

Lin Wen thought Ning Chen was just talking, but he didn't expect him to really come.

Ning Chen just smiled and asked someone to bring a cup of tea.

He took the teacup and knelt down in front of all the imperial doctors.

Lin Wen was almost seventy years old, so Ning Chen deserved this kneeling.

Besides, whether Yudie could stand up or not still depended on Lin Wen.

"Sir, I was too concerned last night and said something that I didn't think right. I hope you won't hold it against me... Sir, please have some tea!"

Lin Wen took the teacup, took a sip, put it aside, and helped Ning Chen up.

"Ning Yinyi's words are as good as gold. I admire you!"

"In fact, I reflected on myself for a long time when I came back last night. Ning Yinyi is right. Doctors are kind-hearted. I shouldn't hesitate because of Miss Yudie's identity."

"After staying in this deep palace for a long time, I gradually forgot the original intention of learning medicine. I am narrow-minded."

"Ning Yinyi, don't worry, I will definitely cure Miss Yudie."

Ning Chen bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Yuanling!"

......

Coming out of the Imperial Hospital, Ning Chen came to Luohuang Palace.

The Ninth Princess was bored. When she heard that Ning Chen wanted to see her, her little face was happy, but she soon frowned.

"Let him in."

After a while, Ning Chen walked in with a maid.

"Hello, Ninth Princess."

The Ninth Princess wore a red silk skirt, her little face was bright, but she tried to pretend to be serious.

"What do you want from me?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I'm here to thank the Ninth Princess."

The Ninth Princess was a little confused, "Thank me?"

"I like the pair of stone mortars that the princess gave me."

The Ninth Princess widened her eyes and looked at Ning Chen, saying, "You... you know everything?"

Ning Chen nodded.

"Are you angry?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "I like the pair of stone mortars very much. I exercise once a day in the morning and evening...Princess, please see, I have become a big muscle man."

The Ninth Princess looked frustrated, "No, you should be angry... Otherwise, I teased you in vain? You don't feel any sense of accomplishment."

Ning Chen: "???"

The Ninth Princess is a little sick... Ning Chen complained in his heart.

He changed the subject and said, "Princess, I have something to ask for?"

"What is it?"

"I want to see the Queen."

The Ninth Princess was startled, and then asked curiously, "Why do you want to see the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother gave me a big gift, and I want to express my gratitude in person!"

The Ninth Princess was surprised, "The Queen Mother actually rewarded you? She didn't reward me... What did the Queen Mother reward you?"

She rewarded me with dozens of butcher knives, which almost took my life... Ning Chen complained in his heart.

"The Queen Mother rewarded me with some silver."

The wooden box brought by the young man who assassinated him contained 100,000 taels of silver notes.

If that person is really the Queen's man, it can be regarded as a large sum of silver rewarded to him.

The Ninth Princess said, "Then you can just go to see the Queen Mother directly, why are you looking for me?"

"I don't know where the Queen Mother lives?"

It's not that he doesn't know, but he doesn't dare to go directly.

Your Majesty allowed him to come to Luohuang Palace at any time, but he didn't allow him to enter the harem at any time.

If he went there rashly, the Queen would catch him and charge him with trespassing in the harem, and he might even be killed on the spot.

The Ninth Princess stood up, put her hands on her hips, and laughed at Ning Chen: "You are so stupid... Let's go, I will take you there."

"Thank you, Princess!"

The Ninth Princess took Ning Chen to Furong Palace.

...

Furong Palace.

The Queen was holding a piece of dessert and tasting it in small bites, looking in a good mood.

The old eunuch was waiting on the side.

Last night, their people evacuated one step ahead of time, leaving the people of the Supervisory Department empty-handed.

The Queen felt that she had finally won Ning Chen once, and she was in a good mood.

A little maid came in and knelt on the ground, "Queen, the Ninth Princess brought Ning Chen and Ning Yinyi to see you."

Hearing Ning Chen's name, the Queen's face changed, her hands trembled, and the dessert fell to the ground.

She subconsciously looked at the old eunuch next to her... Did Ning Chen find out something? Otherwise, why would he come?

After thinking for a moment, the queen calmed down and said calmly: "Let them in."

"Yes!"

The little maid stood up and left.

After a while, the Ninth Princess and Ning Chen walked in.

"Meet the Queen Mother!"

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"

The Queen's big face raised a smile, "Huai'an, you haven't been to the Queen Mother's palace for a while."

The Ninth Princess stuck out her tongue mischievously, "My father said that I have a noisy temper and asked me to stop disturbing my mother's palace."

The Queen smiled and looked at Ning Chen, "Ning Yinyi came to see me, is there something?"

"I came to thank the Queen for her grace!"

The Queen looked at him in surprise, "Thank you? Thank you for what?"

Ning Chen leaned over, "The Queen rewarded me with 100,000 taels of silver, and I should come to thank you."

The Queen's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

But her subtle reaction was seen by Ning Chen.

The Queen looked at the Ninth Princess and smiled, "Huaian, you go outside and wait for a while... I have something to say to Ning Yinyi."

The Ninth Princess said, "Oh", turned around and went out.

Anyway, she didn't like the Queen, and always felt that the Queen was gloomy.

If Ning Chen hadn't come, she wouldn't have come to Furong Palace.

The Queen stared at Ning Chen and said calmly, "When did I ever reward you with 100,000 taels of silver?"

Ning Chen smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, you are really forgetful... Someone gave my woman 100,000 taels of silver notes last night, but she didn't want them... But these 100,000 taels of silver notes, after many twists and turns, still ended up in my hands."

The Queen said coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about? I have never rewarded you with silver."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Maybe I made a mistake."

While Ning Chen was speaking, his eyes occasionally swept to the old eunuch beside the Queen.

The young man he caught said that it was an old eunuch who trained them.
